EGDI: Solutions for what?

EGDI supports challenges and policy development at EU level
◦

EGDI supports sustainability of investments at EU and national levels
◦


Continued accessibility to EU-project results (safeguard > 250 mln previous investments)
Increase visibility EGS partners
◦

Request from DG’s to provide pan-European geological data and derived information
EGDI supports “principal supplier”-role for geological information at EU-level
Maximize added value at national level
◦
Higher efficiency new EU-projects/ INSPIRE
◦
accessibility Geological Data/ Information for different stakeholders (policy, industry,
research)
Strengthening collaboration EGS partners and EU-institutions
◦
EGDI pre-conditional for EGS Strategy towards a European Geological Service
EGDI: Solutions for what?
CHALLENGES FOR EUROPE
How to stimulate economic recovery and create jobs and growth?
How to secure energy and natural resources needed by
citizens and industry?
How to secure clean water, sufficient food and a clean and
healthy environment?
How to protect citizens against natural hazards and the
consequences of climate change?
How to comply with global agreements and targets and maintain
a solid position in a rapidly changing global playing field?
EUROPE 2020 Targets:
• Increasing Employment
• Increasing investment in R&D
• Combatting Climate change and Increasing Energy
Sustainability
• Better Education
• Fighting Poverty and social exclusion
EGDI: Solutions for what?
EU CHALLENGES REQUIRE EU ANSWERS
Zooming in on geological knowledge and data to
support policy development and implementation:
Raw Materials Initiative
Thematic strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste
SET Plan (to establish an energy policy for Europe)
Soil thematic strategy
Blue Growth (maritime/marine)
Water Framework Directive
INSPIRE
etc.

INSPIRE principles:
The data are delivered at
national level with web services
(data providers responsibility)
European level
The data are processed “on-thefly” by services
The results are published in web
portals or applications

EGDI legal framework
• Overview of legal and organisational barriers for the
development of the EGDI
– Licensing and data policy
– Trust and authentication
– Governance
• Guidelines for legal and organisational framework
EGDI legal framework
– “legal requirements and conditions in order to ensure trust
within the infrastructure”
– What is trust?
• Ensuring that people want to use the infrastructure
– They have faith in the data and services that are provided
– They are certain that their rights and interests are being safeguarded
• Three (interlinked) areas
– Trust in the data
– Trust in the services
– Trust in the people
